| Boss | Area | Achievement Rate | Strategy Tips |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forest King Forest King | Dark Dragon Forest (Area 1) | 83.5% | This is the first area boss. The Forest King is a straightforward fight to ease players into the step-based combat system. Focus on learning the parry timing and positioning fundamentals. |
| Cave King Cave King | Evernight Cave (Area 2) | 66.7% | The Evernight Cave introduces environmental obstacles. Use the terrain to your advantage — boxes can be pushed and ignited, water surfaces can be frozen. Watch for hidden routes. |

| Slime King Slime King | Slime Island | 48.7% | Slime Island is accessible after obtaining the Novice Village key. The Slime King can be pushed into water pits for massive damage. Exploit the environment to turn the fight in your favor. |
| Novice Village King Novice Village King | Novice Village | 36.0% | A seemingly peaceful village with a dark secret. The boss fight tests your mastery of all mechanics learned so far. Check behind the Hero's hut for hidden paths. |
